What was it like the first time you seen your baby?

Question

My boyfriend doesnt' like to hold newborns cause there so small, and he's affraid to drop it. Would that change if it was his own baby? And does it make them grow up a little more when they have a baby.

Answer 1

the only thing I can say to sum it up is Amazing!!! you can't believe you made this precious little person

Answer 2

There are no words to describe seeing your baby for the first time. But if I had to pick a word, it would be "awsome" (that doesnt even do it justice though) This is a moms point of view, mind you. It can be a little intimidating for anyone to hold a newborn, just be patient with him. As far as growing up....it really goes on a case by case basis. Some men do, others go about their business like nothing has changed.

Answer 3

Like others have said, there are no words to describe the feeling you have the first time you hold your own child. I had no experience with babies at all....I was frightened at the prospect of having something so tiny and helpless totally dependent on me. My husband and I had been married for 13 years when we became parents for the first time, so we had plenty of time to enjoy our life and not feel that we were missing out on anything.

If your boyfriend does not grow up a little when he becomes a dad, he will never mature. It's the right time to become a man.

Your BF will have to realize that suddenly there is someone on the Earth more important than himself.

Answer 4

The most amazing experience of all is to hold YOUR baby for the first time. At that second you fully understand what unconditional love is really about. I don't know about a baby making someone grow up, I think that has to do with the person, and how far they are willing to go to be a good parent

Answer 5

First time seeing your baby can be diferent for all...I didnt like seeing them all blue and slimmy I was scared they would slip out or something ...but when they put the pbaby in your arms for the first time you just cant believe that you made this little person or that this is whats been kicking inside you ....Not all men grow up all the time sweat heart so dont count on it.Sometimes they need that extra little nudge into reality that their a parent now and need to be more responsible........when its their own they dont have a choice they have to choke their fears and help out...some use that excuse so they dont have to help out .......some very few are scared and just need a little time to adjust....

Answer 6

Yes It was more than amazing because i wondered for 9 months what she looked like and she was not at all what i thought. When I looked at her and knew she was mine and thats who been kicking me and moving in my belly i cried,and as she is growing up now she is so amazing and i am sooo proud of her and i would not change being a mom for the world. Yes he will change. My boyfriend was the same ways but when he seen the baby he had to hold her. And as for making them grow up that's a different story when she was first born yeah he was there and attened every need but now she is gettng older he acts like a big kid and play with her and crawls with her but all in all he is a GREAT FATHER!!!

Answer 7

Everything definitely changes when it is your own baby. Have him be in the room with you, and let him watch. My husband has such new respect, pride and love for me since I gave birth to our daughter. Before she was born I was not sure how he would measure up with all the stresses of a new baby, but he is a Superdad! If your bf is scared to hold the baby, be patient with him, and show him how it's done. Let him start off small, like sitting in a chair, and hand the baby to him.

Good luck

Answer 8

The first time I held my daughter was the first time I cried from happiness... corny, but true. As for your boyfriend, he'll slowly come around... My husband was so afraid of hurting our daughter he didn't want to hold her unless he was sitting down. He was so enamored of her he just didn't want to do anything to damage her. And no, it doesn't really make them grow up when they have a baby unless they were mature enough to want a baby and choose to have... if anything, they get worse; they realize they're tied down for life by a child and then they rebel trying to go back to being a single bachelor.

Answer 9

Some grow up, some don't. Just in case you are considering getting pregnant to make your bf more responsible or something....don't do it. First of all...you aren't married and should not intentionally bring a child in to a one parent home. Second, children bring stress to relationships. It doesn't just make everything better, it is tough to raise kids. But, to answer your question, men are usually not too scared to hold their own baby.

Answer 10

I believe all guys are afraid to hold a baby, because they're scared that they will drop it. My husband have never carried any of my cousins and they're very young; the youngest one is 6 months old. When you guys have your own baby, he will change. He will definately want to hold the baby as much as possible and protect him/her from everything. Most guys are maturer after the baby arrives. Before the baby arrives, he will want to continue going out with his friends as much as he can.

I am 29 weeks pregnant and my husband can't wait for our son to arrive.

Answer 11

i cried, just to know that i brought this person into the world and just holding him made me feel like a million dollars. as far as your boyfriend goes yes he will change his mind becuase the baby is his. my husband had a broken arm when my son was born but that did not stop him from getting the baby from the doctor and kissing him and loving on him. i have never seen him so happy.
